Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Anthony, KS.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Anthony where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
